How to read Heikin Ashi candles.
Green candles indicate an uptrend and if there are no lower wicks (shadows) the move can be assumed a strong uptrend.
Red candles indicate a downtrend and if there are no higher wicks (shadows) the move can be assumed a strong downtrend.
Candles with a small body surrounded by upper and lower shadows indicate a potential trend change or trend pause.
